The debut 12" release on Tru Thoughts by New Zealand-born, Melbourne-based
producer Lanu (aka Lance Ferguson) marks a distinct departure from the
raw, deep funk of his other project, The Bamboos.
Brimming with future soul and broken beat flavours, Lanu's sound has been
informed and inspired by the digital rhythms of West London and Detroit.
Opener 'Dis-Information' is an up-tempo discourse on the media built
around a punchy Moog bassline, angular Rhodes chords and an insistent
break. This extended 12" mix appears here in vocal and instrumental form.
On the flipside, 'Mother Earth' sees Lance team up Quantic and vocalist
Aloe Blacc for a broken Afro-beat workout that calls out for us to respect
the planet or face the consequences. This track also appears in
instrumental form.
Closing track, 'Don't Sleep (Part 3)' is lifted from Lanu's debut album,
'This Is My Home' [TRUCD121].
Exploring his passion for broken beat, hip hop, soul, house, jazz and
Latin rhythms, Ferguson has drawn on his experience as an international DJ
and performer to create an album with enough depth and versatility to work
just as well on a decent set of headphones as it does on a club
soundsystem.
The album also features guest appearances by keyboardist Simon Grey and
New Zealand vocalist, Cherie Mathieson.
Enjoy!
